About this map

The Salt River and its major tributary, Brashears Creek, define the landscape of this Spencer County region just south of the Shelby County line. In this 2016 survey, the northern reaches of Taylorsville Lake dominate the southeastern quadrant, formed by the impoundment of the river and flooding areas near Possum Ridge. The town of Taylorsville sits at the western edge of the reservoir, maintaining its position near the confluence of these historical waterways.

Small communities and named geographical points like Normandy, Yoder, and Little Mount are connected by a network of rural roads such as Normandy Station Rd and Shelbyville Rd. Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks including Valley Cem, Little Mount Cem, and the high ground of Snyder Bluff. The map also reveals specialized aviation infrastructure at the Mason Valley Airport and the Willow Island Airpark, reflecting the modern character of this traditional agricultural and riverine area.
